A material is dimensionally stable at room temperature if its glass transition temperature (T) is

  • A. Below room temperature
  • B. Just above room temperature
  • C. Equal to room temperature
  • D. Well above room temperature

Answer: D. Well above room temperature

Explanation: Below Tg, polymers are hard and glassy (stable dimensions). Above Tg, they become rubbery/viscous. For stability, room temp should be < Tg.
